In my opinion, it became a slur when the world attempted to change the definitions of what it trans meant.
In the old days, a transvestite was someone who enjoyed dressing in the clothes of the other sex. This didn't mean that they THOUGHT they were a woman, or even that they were gay; it was simply treated as a kink.
An example of this would be the old TV show "Hill Street Blues"; where one of the side-characters is a judge who starts dressing in women's clothes to get in touch with his 'feminine side'. He was still straight and liked women, but that was just his kink.
But later, when they tried to forward the argument that trans "were' women; they had to suppress those who wore the clothes but weren't outright mentally ill.
